Gaviões da Fiel chief and lawyer on talks with prosecutors | OneFootball

On the afternoon of this Wednesday (19), regular fans and Corinthians’ main organized supporter groups — Gaviões da Fiel, Camisa 12, Fiel Macabra, Coringão Choop, Pavilhão Nove, and Estopim da Fiel — gathered in front of the São Paulo Public Prosecutor’s Office (MP-SP) to protest the club’s current situation and call for a judicial intervention at Corinthians.

In an interview with the press during the demonstration, Gaviões da Fiel’s lawyer, Edson Oliveira, commented on the meeting with the agency and expressed optimism about the implementation of a judicial intervention at the club. However, he said no deadline was set for the conclusion of the investigation.

“They explained to us that they are working very hard, that there are several facts being investigated. Since this is a confidential legal process, they can’t disclose certain details to us. They promised they are working on it, which is their role. And we are quite confident”, he began. 

“They didn’t give us a deadline, because it doesn’t depend on them, but they made it clear that the investigations will continue and will be sent to a judge, and that judge will then decide whether to appoint an intervenor. There’s no way to say it’ll be in a month, in six months; it depends on the progress of the investigations.”

“So we’re confident that, very soon, we’ll have a good result and, Godwilling, free Corinthians from all evil, right? I think they explained that this has never happened before — in fact, it only happened at Bahia, in a specific situation, and at no other club. So, once again, Corinthians’ fans are making history, and we believe everything will work out,” he concluded.

He went on to answer whether these acts represent a turning point in Corinthians’ history: “When we see a club executive today putting on a shirt like that saying, ‘I only left a debt of R$ 1.7 billion,’ it almost feels like he’s mocking us here. But today we’re very confident in the work they’re doing here,” he said.

The investigation into a possible judicial intervention at Corinthians was opened in December 2025. Although there is no exact deadline for the end of the inquiry, expectations are that it will be extended for at least another two months. If the prosecutors reach a consensus that judicial intervention is necessary, it will be up to MP-SP to ask the courts for that process to be initiated.

The judiciary, in turn, will analyze whether or not to grant the request. Another possible alternative is the signing of a Conduct Adjustment Agreement (TAC), under which Corinthians would be responsible for taking measures pointed out by the prosecutors handling the case — Luiz Ambra Neto and André Pascoal.

In addition to this Wednesday’s protest, Corinthians fans will hold new peaceful demonstrations on the night of this Thursday (20), starting at 9:30 p.m. Brasília time, during the match against Rosario Central-ARG at Neo Química Arena, in the second leg of the Copa Libertadores round of 16. Next Saturday (22), organized groups and regular fans will gather in front of Parque São Jorge, the club’s social headquarters.

Gaviões president Alexandre Domênico, known as Ale, also spoke to reporters and congratulated Corinthians fans for the afternoon’s demonstrations. In his response, he spoke about the club’s administrative negligence, citing Corinthians’ three current transfer bans (prohibition on registering players) — two from FIFA and one from the CBF (CNRD – National Chamber for Dispute Resolution) — totaling approximately R$ 22 million. The club’s debt currently stands at around R$ 2.7 billion.

“I think we have to keep this entire movement going. Congratulations to all Corinthians fans who managed to get here; we know it’s a bad time. We showed tremendous strength. But we’re talking more about the show of strength and what the united Fiel Torcida can do. I think we have to continue the whole process. It’s more than proven that this current association model won’t move forward. We fight a lot over the lack of attention they give this,” Ale said. 

They have a financial project on the table and they don’t want to discuss it. They don’t want to discuss reforming the bylaws, which for us is an absolute disgrace. If they believe so much in this association model, why don’t they discuss the changes that would give Corinthians a new direction? And for us here, it’s even a confusing situation,” he added.

“So at this moment what we ask for is the unity of all Corinthians fans. Every Corinthians fan in general — those who can come and those who can’t, we understand. Because there are people who have no way of showing up in person, but who keep fighting, fighting for Corinthians. We can never hang our heads and show these guys that they’re winning this battle, because they are not winning this battle. We came here to the Public Prosecutor’s Office to act rationally. We know how the fan’s emotional modus operandi sometimes works.”

Ale continued: “We don’t want to act that way. We want the people in there to understand that they are being pressured, yes. We came here as a sign of hope. Today, the Public Prosecutor’s Office symbolizes hope for Corinthians fans.”

“We depend a lot on them (MP), because in some situations we can’t get to Parque São Jorge in terms of oversight. There are certain drawers there that we can’t open. Unfortunately. Who is going to help us? The Public Prosecutor’s Office. So this unity today is very important so that we can succeed and give our Sport Club Corinthians Paulista a new direction. So we are in an alarming situation. We’ve hit rock bottom.”

“We talk to the club officials, each one with their own promise. Today, we don’t have the money to pay the transfer ban. That prevents Marcelo Paz — whether he’s a great professional or not, we don’t know if Marcelo Paz is a great professional or not — from making signings, from doing his job. Today, we have a football manager (Júlio César) who has turned into a press officer, bro. That’s not his job. So we ask Corinthians fans to keep fighting in unity. We don’t want Corinthians fans tearing each other apart.”

“I think the mindset of those guys inside Parque São Jorge is that we here — Corinthians fans in general — keep fighting among ourselves. That’s very bad, bro. We have to be united right now. And I think even worse things may still come, but we have to stand firm. United. No one lets go of anyone’s hand at this moment. Because the fight is hard.”

“Do you know why? Because we live this reality from the inside. Judicial intervention isn’t some immediate-fix idea. I think it’s important for Corinthians fans to understand that. It won’t happen tomorrow, in a month, or in six months. We don’t know. So we have to be prepared for everything. We know an adverse result could come tomorrow and this wave of calls for judicial intervention could grow even more.”

“But we know, we know that justice does not work under pressure. This popular mobilization is very important. And I told them that in there. This is going to grow more every month. So they told us they will try to speed things up, but they will work based on complaints. It’s not only up to them, since they are acting impartially. But it’s important for us here, bro, to show up to the protests. Whoever can show up. We know it’s difficult.”

“On Saturday we’re going to have a very big protest. We have to bring at least 30,000 people there — 10,000, 15,000, 100,000 people. People who are outraged should in some way come to Parque São Jorge and stay united. No one lets go at this moment.”

“Look at the candidates coming to run in the Corinthians election, bro. I actually even like that kind of post, when the guy puts on the shirt and says, ‘We left R$ 1.7 billion.’ Yes. ‘But we paid for the Arena.’ What Arena? The Arena isn’t even paid off. They do nothing for Corinthians — quite the opposite. And we all know here, and I think even the Public Prosecutor’s Office knows, what a den of schemes that place is (Parque São Jorge). If you dig there, you’ll find schemes, schemes, schemes, schemes.”

“It’s up to us here to stay united. And with great strength. It’s more than proven that these guys are afraid of the united Fiel Torcida. So we have to keep it that way, right, guys? And congratulations to everyone who came here. Let’s hold our protests tomorrow. And on Saturday, everyone at Parque São Jorge. Put on your Corinthians shirt. No one is more Corinthians than anyone else. Neither organized supporters nor regular fans. We are fighting for a greater good, which is our Sport Club Corinthians Paulista,” the organized group’s president concluded.

FANS GATHER AT THE MP IN A DEMONSTRATION IN FAVOR OF JUDICIAL INTERVENTION

This Wednesday (19), the Fiel Torcida once again showed that it will not remain silent in the face of the grave situation experienced by the club. In an important act held in front of the São Paulo Public Prosecutor’s Office headquarters, Gaviões da Fiel, Camisa 12, Pavilhão 9, Estopim da Fiel, Coringão Chopp, and Fiel Macabra were received by prosecutors Luiz Ambra Neto and André Pascoal, who are responsible for the investigations into possible judicial intervention at Corinthians.

The mobilization represents the voice of 35 million Corinthians fans who are tired of watching Corinthians be managed by incompetent directors who pile up mistakes, weaken the institution, and put the future of one of the biggest clubs in the world at risk.

This Wednesday’s act was just one more step in a cause that belongs not only to the organized supporters’ groups, but to the entire Fiel Torcida.

The mobilizations will continue this Thursday, during the match against Rosario Central. However, the most important moment will happen next Saturday.

We call on all Corinthians fans, organized supporters, regular fans, and club members to join the major peaceful protest to be held on Saturday at 10 a.m. in front of Parque São Jorge.

It is essential to understand that this fight is against those who, for years, have treated the club with irresponsibility, incompetence, and interests that do not represent the will of the Fiel Torcida.

On Saturday, we need to show that there is only one side: the side of Corinthians.

The war is not between us. The fight is for Corinthians. Saturday, one side only, one voice only.
